He joins Count Me In to talk about the recent changes to lease accounting standards and how these new regulations ultimately led to his newest business venture. A financial authority specializing in technical accounting and accounting research, George has served as an auditor for banks, insurance companies, and brokerage firms. Prior to LeaseQuery, he performed Accounting Research and Technical Accounting for a Fortune 500 company, where he specialized in lease accounting, sale-leaseback transactions, build-to-suit arrangements, debt restructurings (modifications and extinguishments), asset retirement obligations and purchase accounting. With all this knowledge and experience, George explains how he recognized a business opportunity to help accountants, and also gets into potential future implications with regard to other accounting standards.
